Free fantasy sports a thing of the past?

Yahoo! is on the verge of being sold, either as a whole or in piecemeal. Does this mean the end of free fantasy sports?

"If either ESPN or CBS Sports were to attempt to purchase Yahoo Sports, the number of traditional websites that host fantasy sports games would fall from three to two—a general red flag in terms of competition law. In addition, if the market's low price provider, Yahoo, were gobbled up by a website more likely to charge customer fees, another red flag would be triggered."
